What the data for this category looks like

The data for this category comes primarily from audio files awaiting annotation, internal annotation platforms, proprietary vocabularies, and spot-check samples. Updates run daily or per annotation batch. Daily associated documents include transcription specifications, audio delivery lists, quality inspection reports, and speaker annotation forms. The data structure centers on audio clips, transcribed text, annotation tags, and quality inspection results. Fields include audio duration, speaker identifiers, proprietary word annotation items, and more. There are no unified fixed units. Matching must be done based on the specific annotation task scenario.

Constraints for HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

This category’s data sources include unstructured audio files. HTTP interfaces must support streaming upload or chunked submission of audio files to avoid single-transmission timeouts. The daily or batch update feature requires interfaces to pull incremental data by task ID or batch number. This prevents repeated processing of already annotated content. The large volume of associated documents requires interface parameters to carry document metadata identifiers. This ensures external systems can match the specification requirements for the corresponding annotation task. The requirement for structured transcription output means interfaces must return fixed-format structured data. This facilitates subsequent quality inspection and delivery. The risk of data validation errors and rework requires interfaces to return data integrity validation fields. This allows external systems to quickly troubleshoot exceptions.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended PracticeRationale
AuthorizationCarry a valid Bearer-format token with a validity period not exceeding 7 daysComplies with HTTP interface identity verification standards, and adapts to the permission control rules of FastGPT v4.17.0
responseDataEnable structured return mode, including three core fields: audio ID, transcribed text, and speaker tagsMatches the structured transcription output requirements of this category, and facilitates external systems to directly parse quality inspection reports
Maximum batch per single request10–20 audio tasksAdapts to the batch-update data feature, and avoids overloading a single request
Timeout period600 secondsAdapts to the time requirements of audio file upload and transcription processing, and avoids mid-transmission interruptions
variablesPass the proprietary vocabulary ID of the current annotation taskMatches the proprietary word proofreading link of this category, and ensures transcription results comply with specifications

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Phenomenon: Unclosed truncated JSON data appears when using responseData streaming return. Cause: The end marker for streaming transmission is not configured, causing external systems to fail to recognize the data transmission completion status.
  • Phenomenon: Interface requests return status code 401, identity verification failed. Cause: The Authorization parameter does not carry a valid token, or the token has expired and was not updated in time.
  • Phenomenon: The number of results returned by a batch request does not match the request batch. Cause: Incremental data is not pulled by batch, and already processed audio task data is mixed in.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

  • Call the interface to submit a single audio test task, and check whether the structured fields returned in responseData include the expected audio ID, transcribed text, and speaker tags.
  • Check whether the format of the Authorization parameter complies with Bearer token specifications, and confirm that the token validity period meets the configuration requirements.
  • Initiate a batch request, and check that the batch of returned results matches the request parameters, with no duplicate or missing task data.
  • Test the timeout configuration by simulating a long-duration audio upload request, and confirm that the interface does not interrupt the connection prematurely.
